Welcome to the forum. Its always nice to have a good uncle. Congrats to the kid.

Ive wanted to do this one for a long time. Crushed peppercorns, garlic and kosher salt on the meat. Then wrapped in applewood smoked bacon. Seared in a pan then baked on the grill with the amazn pellet smoker lit on both ends and opposite corners for some serious quick smoke. I HIGHLY recomend this smoker tray for anyone with smokers or grills. It was awesome! Wife made curly fries and hot wings to accompany this fine meal. She also made a lea and perrins and shredded horseradish dip for it. It was the bomb, even the baby loved it!

My wife insists that the fish we got from Parker tasted like pond water. We also don't dig the bones you get in the fish that G&F stocks. If anyone has opinions I'm all ears. The recipe she didn't like was a lemon pepper one with mayo wrapped in foil and slowly baked. It made it kinda easy to get the meat off the bones but she still didn't like it. I'm really trying to get the whole family into more fishing but want some great recipes to try before giving up.

Well I was supposed to get our bows ready last night but momma wanted go fishin. She rarely wants to go when its cold but she felt lucky and who am I to argue so I jumped on the opportunity. So we packed up and took our youngest boy Enoch. It was a good night, saw two herds of antelope on the way, a few deer by the launch in the marina, a ringtail in the tree above us and a fox walking through the parking lot. Didn't even have time to sit before the last bluegill I cast out started winding out fast! I got my boy to help with the reel in 8.5 pounds perfect eatin size. Wife and the boy, Super lucky to have a wife thats all in when it comes to hunting, fishing and eatin wild foods! Me and the Eenie catching bait. The barbie rod hasn't let me down yet. Enoch and his catch! I've got plans for this guy... PF Changs Oolong marinated Seabass (Catfish), gonna throw some in the smoker too. Will post recipe and results probably tomorow. Merry Christmas! ( I knew that trick or treating bucket would come in handy )

Oh. Well my bad then, from where I was sittin it seemed like you you wanted to start another retarded argument.

Yes sir, looking forward to it. My wives family did a shrimp dinner every Christmas eave which we've continued for the past few years. This year catfish and my wives Thai lemongrass shrimp soup are getting added to the mix. Tomorrow is a smoked ham, which I'm also looking forward to.

It's Christmas dude. Let it go.

Nice video. Thats the magic of these deer, you think your alone when your NOT!

Should we tell him Santas not real?

Nice offer! Have a safe drive.

Thank God, because I was about to buy it from you. I need to sow my wallet shut from hemmoraging all the cash I've been spending on hot deals!

It's been a loooong time since I saw that video.

Ok so you first said deep fry, to me that means bread and deep fry. Do you fry and peel skin then deep fry? Or just fry in oil and peel the skin and debone and throw the meat right into the mix? I might need to get a family pack of them bone clippers.

But instead of use the word "rub" I will change it just ever so slightly to the word "gargle".

I'm gonna try n convince the wife next time were up there to rub them for good luck.

I remember hearing Jay Scott explain it, can you freshin my memory? I thought it was based on so many weeks into the year or something but don't remember. I do remember that it was why this years archery hunt started so early though.

Fyi if you plan on eating them Parker is on the "mercury" list.

At G&F yesterday gettin leftover tags and heard a guy in line saying how Parker got fish that were supposed to go to other lakes but the water was no good. When it was my turn I asked the lady about, she said she knew that Parker got Pena Blanca's fish but I'm not sure if it got any other lakes fish or not. Anyway should be a good little bump for you Parker guys. Any other info would be appreciated.

The lady said Parker got PB's fish not Patagonia, so did the guy in line in front of me. Maybe one batch went to Parker and one went to Patogonia.

I had a sign company do logos on my van. I asked about taking a picture of a coues and having them make like a yard sign, she said it was totally possible. If you want to the spend the money you can have a custom one made. Probably could even get it off eBay. I think I'd even make it so both sides looked like the back of a does head.

You guys in phx are gettin your goodies a day ahead me. That really burns my bottom. Wife got her pack today, let her have a peak, now it's under the tree. Hopefully the jackets will be here tomorrow.

So you eat them with the bones in?

I will try these out, thanks for the tips. I tried pulling the spine out on the smaller stocked trout, didn't work so great. I've never pulled one out of the mountain lakes which I assume would be a little easier since they're much bigger. For the most part the fish down here don't get much bigger and they don't survive through summer so maybe all parker trout will always be not that great.

Wow, thats crazy.

Really? That gos against everything I was ever told. I always heard you should never take a leak anywhere near where your hunting. Have you ever hung a cam on one you went on? Any reaction at all from the deer? This has me pretty curious.
